+(*
+ * Result: Never
+ *
+ * This litmus test demonstrates that after a grace period, an RCU updater always
+ * sees all stores done in prior RCU read-side critical sections. Such
+ * read-side critical sections would have ended before the grace period ended.
+ *
+ * This is one implication of the RCU grace-period guarantee, which says (among
+ * other things) that an RCU read-side critical section cannot span a grace period.
